I miss world leaders who negotiated agreements and treaties. Documents supported by legislative authority, legitimacy, and constitutionality. The U.S. is now working on “deals”, and MOU’s. I’m just waiting for diplomacy by IOU and COD at this point.

The arguments against birthright citizenship aren't credible exercises of intellectual exploration; they are anti-constitutional themselves. The purpose of the Citizenship Clause was to end the debate. Entertaining anything other than citizenship by native birth is an attack on the 14th Amendment.

Black women now have the highest increases in unemployment. Allys paying lip service to inclusion should interrogate themselves. Your language, monitoring, and bad faith attacks on our competence contribute to these outcomes. I am experiencing this shift and backlash in real time.

A historic moment as we witness the first American leading the Catholic Church. Hailing from Chicago, Pope Leo XIV ushers in a new chapter that I join those in our state welcoming in at a time when we need compassion, unity, and peace.

At some point we should have the conversation about white liberals and allies not being who they thought they were. If this doesn’t apply to you keep up the good fight. If you’re busy setting traps, and demonizing marginalized people sit this one out.

U.S. authoritarianism through the lens of political scientists. In a discipline full of Susan Collins many political scientists are concerned. However, some are deeply troubled, while others are doing the electric boogaloo.

Either the courts get to decide who is a “violent criminal” or “gang member”, or Donald Trump gets to decide. That choice determines whether we are a Republic governed by laws or an autocracy living under a ruler.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.
A tweet by Sarah Longwell (@SarahLongwell25
) reads: "He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. Don’t you see what’s happening here?"

All I keep thinking about is how Pete Hegseth raised questions of the competency of a Black four-star general and Air Force fighter pilot who was the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Hegseth asked did he get the job “because of his skin color? Or his skill? We’ll never know, but always doubt.”
